Making the Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.

  5. Add pink food coloring if desired. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  6. Bake in a water bath for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Turn off the oven and crack the door slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
